One of our favorite bands, Wilco, has a new EP, "Hot Sun Cool Shroud," with six new songs by band leader Jeff Tweedy.  "Annihilation" kicks off the second side of the EP with a driving guitar riff that gets your heart rate up from the get-go.  Hope you enjoy.

Jeff Tweedy and Wilco get the weekend started with "Meant To Be" off their latest album "Cousin" (produced by Cate LeBon), with some fancy rollin' by folks at Chicago's "The Rink."  Hope you enjoy.

Two bands that have often been compared to each other released new albums last month: The National's "Laugh Track" and Wilco's "Cousin."  We're featuring The National's "Deep End (Paul's in Pieces)" and Wilco's "Evicted" as our twofer today.  Hope you enjoy.

The venerable Chicago-based band Wilco has a new album -- their 12th -- titled "Cruel Country" releasing later this month. A track off that album has just been released by the band, and it's a mid-tempo, melodic beauty. Here's "Tired Of Taking It Out On You." Enjoy.

After a too- long hiatus, indie band Wilco is releasing a new album, "Ode To Joy,"  in October.  It's first single, "Love Is Everywhere (Beware)", is just a beautiful Jeff Tweedy song, almost worth the wait.

It seems this is the year of folk- rock documentaries.  In May, we had "Echo In The Canyon," a look at the L.A. music scene centered around Laurel Canyon in the 60's.  Now, "David Crosby: Remember My Name" is in theaters, and we were inspired to go back to one of his songs featured in "Echo..." from his days with The Byrds, "What's Happening?"  It features some signature Byrds guitar euphoria and Crosby's great honey tenor.  Hope you enjoy.
